BACKGROUND 1. Field

One or more embodiments relate to a container including a spinningformulation structure, and more particularly, to a container including aspinning formation structure, the container including a plurality offormulation structures coupled to a rotating unit and forming a sphere,wherein a rotational movement of a controller is converted into arotational movement of a central axis of the rotating unit through afirst gear and a second gear such that the plurality of formulationstructures are rotated through the controller for use.

2. Description of Related Art

Generally, cosmetics, such as cosmetics for color makeup of face or thelike or foundation that covers the entire face to cover freckles, finewrinkles, and pores and uniformly adjusts the color of skin are used ina powder formulation or in a solid formulation obtained by compressionof the cosmetics in the powder formulation.

A user may select and use one formulation structure from variousformulation structures according to a particular situation or use twoformulation structures together to enhance a desired effect. Storing twoformulation structures in one container is preferable for user'sconvenience to allow the user to use two formulation structures at thesame time, but in the related art, two formulation structures areseparately stored into two containers for use.

When the two formulation structures are placed in separate containers,mixing two formulation structures for use results in poor usability. Inaddition, containers in the related art may be used by one-dimensionallycombining general containers capable of storing each formulationstructure. The containers in the related art not only are inconvenientin the usability of the user, but also poor in portability.

The present disclosure relates to a container including a spinningformulation structure, and more particularly, to a container including aplurality of formulation structures coupled to a rotating unit andforming a sphere, wherein a rotational movement of a controller isconverted into a rotational movement of a central axis of the rotatingunit through a first gear and a second gear so that the plurality offormulation structures are rotated through the controller. Hereinafter,the present disclosure will be described in detail by explaining exampleembodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the attacheddrawings.

A container 100 including a spinning formulation structure according toan embodiment includes a rotating unit 110, a formulation structure, ahousing 130, and a controller 140.

Referring to FIGS. 1, 2A, and 2B, the rotating unit 110 includes acentral axis 111 having a bar shape and a first gear 112 coupled to thecentral axis 111. The central axis 111 may have a bar shape or acylindrical shape extending in a longitudinal direction.

The first gear 112 is coupled to a side of the central axis 111 and thefirst gear 112 is fixedly coupled to the central axis 111. As the firstgear 112 is fixedly coupled to the central axis 111, the first gear 112and the central axis 111 may be rotated together. In detail, when thefirst gear 112 is rotated by an external force, the central axis 111 maybe rotated together with the first gear 112.

The first gear 112 may be but is not limited to a spur gear. Variousgears may be used as the first gear 112 to be coupled to and rotatetogether with the central axis 111. For example, the first gear 112 maybe a helical gear.

The formulation structure is coupled to the rotating unit 110 and mayinclude a plurality of formulation structures. Preferably, the pluralityof formulation structures are coupled to the rotating unit 110 and forma sphere. Two, three, four, or more formulation structures may be usedas needed.

According to an embodiment, the formulation structure may include twoformulation structures. When the formulation structure includes twoformulation structures, the formulation structures includes a firstformulation structure 121 having a hemispherical shape and coupled to anupper portion of the rotating unit 110 and a second formulationstructure 122 having a hemispherical shape and coupled to a lowerportion of the rotating unit 110. The first formulation structure 121and the second formulation structure 122 may be formulations ofdifferent colors and different components.

Referring to FIG. 3, the first formulation structure 121 and the secondformulation structure 122 form a sphere by being respectively coupled tothe upper portion and the lower portion of the rotating unit 110. Whenthe formulation structure includes the first formulation structure 121and the second formulation structure 122, each of the first formulationstructure 121 and the second formulation structure 122 having ahemispherical shape, the first formulation structure 121 and the secondformulation structure 122 form together a sphere.

The first formulation structure 121 and the second formulation structure122 both including a hemispherical shape are coupled to the central axis111 and the central axis 111 is embedded in the first formulationstructure 121 and the second formulation structure 122. Since the firstformulation structure 121 and the second formulation structure 122 arecoupled to the central axis 111, when the central axis 111 is rotated byan external force, the first formulation structure 121 and the secondformulation structure 122 may be rotated together.

Although the formulation structure according to an embodiment isdescribed as including two formulation structures, the embodiment is notlimited thereto. According to an embodiment, three, four, or moreformulation structures as needed may be coupled to the rotating unit 110to form a sphere.

When the formulation structure includes three formulation structures,each of the formulation structures may have a shape obtained by equallydividing a sphere into three. When the formulation structure includesfour formulation structures, each of the formulation structures may havea shape obtained by equally dividing a sphere into four. Since theplurality of formulation structures are coupled to the central axis 111,when the central axis 111 is rotated by an external force, the pluralityof formulation structures may be rotated together.

As described above, according to an embodiment, although the formulationstructure may include the plurality of formulation structures, a casewhere the formulation structure includes the first formulation structure121 and the second formulation structure 122 will be mainly described inthe embodiments and drawings below.

A fan unit 113 including a board shape may be provided in the centralaxis 111 of the rotating unit 110 to easily couple the plurality offormulation structures to the central axis 111 and easily transfer arotational force of the central axis 111 to the plurality of formulationstructures.

Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, the fan unit 113 may have across-sectional area greater than that of the central axis 111 and mayhave a board shape. When the fan unit 113 may have a rectangular boardshape and the formulation structure includes two formulation structures,the first formulation structure 121 may be coupled to an upper surfaceof the fan unit 113 and the second formulation structure 122 may becoupled to a lower surface of the fan unit 113. When the central axis111 is rotated, the fan unit 113 may be rotated together. The fan unit113 and the central axis 111 may be integrally formed.

The first formulation structure 121 and the second formulation structure122 should rotate together with the central axis 111. When the fan unit113 is not included, the first formulation structure 121 and the secondformulation structure 122 may not rotate together and may spin freelywith no traction on the central axis 111 when the central axis 111 isrotated. The fan unit 113 may prevent the above-mentioned situation. Arotational force of the central axis 111 may be effectively transferredto the first formulation structure 121 and the second formulationstructure 122 through the fan unit 113 having a board shape, and thus,the first formulation structure 121 and the second formulation structure122 may rotate together with the central axis 111.

In addition, referring to FIG. 2B, an auxiliary unit 115 protruding fromthe central axis 111 to the outside may be provided on the central axis111 of the rotating unit 110. The auxiliary unit 115 together with thefan unit 113 are configured to effectively transfer the rotational forceof the central axis 111 to the first formulation structure 121 and thesecond formulation structure 122, and the auxiliary unit 115 may preventthe formulation structure from being released due to a centrifugal forceof the central axis 111.

The auxiliary unit 115 may have various shapes as long as the auxiliaryunit preventing the formulation structure from being released due to thecentrifugal force of the central axis 111. Referring to FIG. 2B, theauxiliary unit 115 may perpendicularly protrude to two sides of the fanunit 113 and may form a cross shape together with the fan unit 113. Inaddition, the auxiliary unit 115 may include a board shape as shown inFIG. 2B and may include a hollow shape.

However, the auxiliary unit 115 is not limited to the above-describedshape and may include various shapes as long as the auxiliary unitpreventing the formulation structure from being released due to thecentrifugal force of the central axis 111. For example, the auxiliaryunit 115 may include a semicircular board shape and may include a crossshape perpendicularly protruding to two sides of the fan unit 113.

The fan unit 113 including a board shape may widen a contact areabetween the first formulation structure 121 and second formulationstructure 122 and the central axis 111, and thus, a coupling strengthbetween the first formulation structure 121 and second formulationstructure 122 and the central axis 111 may be improved.

Referring to FIG. 2B, a protruding unit 114 protruding from the uppersurface and the lower surface of the fan unit 113 may be provided on thefan unit 113. The protruding unit 114 may further improve the contactarea between the first formulation structure 121 and second formulationstructure 122 and the central axis 111 and the protruding unit 114 mayeffectively improve the coupling strength between the first formulationstructure 121 and second formulation structure 122 and the central axis111.

The protruding unit 114 may protrude from the upper surface and thelower surface of the fan unit 113 and extend in a longitudinal directionand a vertical direction of the fan unit 113. As a plurality ofprotruding units 114 extend from the upper surface and the lower surfaceof the fan unit 113, the contact area between the first formulationstructure 121 and second formulation structure 122 and the central axis111 may be widened. The protruding unit 114 may extend in a diagonaldirection of the fan unit 113 as needed and may extend in a directionparallel to a plane of the fan unit 113.

Although the fan unit 113 has been described as having a rectangularboard shape, the fan unit 113 is not limited thereto. The fan unit 113may have various board shapes. For example, the fan unit 113 may includea circular disk shape.

As described above, although the formulation structure has beendescribed as including two formulation structures, the formulationstructure may include more than two formulation structures. In thiscase, the number of fan unit 113 may be same as the number of theformulation structures.

In detail, when the formulation structure includes three formulationstructures, three fan units 113 extending in three directions of thecentral axis 111 may be provided. Each of the formulation structures maybe coupled between the two adjacent fan units 113 from among the fanunits 113. When three fan units 113 extending in three directions areprovided, a peripheral space of the central axis 111 may be divided intothree spaces through the three fan units 113, and thus, each of theformulation structures may be coupled to each space.

When the formulation structure includes four formulation structures,four fan units 113 extending in four directions of the central axis 111may be provided and the peripheral space of the central axis 111 may bedivided into four spaces through the four fan units 113, and thus, thefour formulation structures may be respectively coupled to each space.Herein, when the formulation structure includes two formulationstructures including the first formulation structure 121 and the secondformulation structure 122, two fan units 113 extend in two directionsaround the central axis 111 and the peripheral space of the central axis111 are divided into two spaces through the two fan units 113.

Referring to FIGS. 4A and 4B, the housing 130 may be formed therein witha storage space 131 in which the formulation structure may be inserted.The housing 130 may be a container capable of storing the formulationstructure and the storage space 131 is open toward the outside.

The storage space 131 of the housing 130 may accommodate some of theplurality of formulation structures having a spherical shape. Thestorage space 131 of the housing 130 may preferably have a hemisphericalshape to accommodate the portion of the plurality of formulationstructures having a spherical shape.

The storage space 131 of the housing 130 is open toward and incommunication with the outside. As described above, as the storage space131 of the housing 130 is open toward the outside, the plurality offormulation structures including a spherical shape may be inserted intothe storage space 131.

The cross section of an upper portion inside the housing 130 may have acircular shape and a second gear 132 may be formed on an innerperipheral surface of the housing 130. The second gear 132 extends alongthe inner peripheral surface of the housing 130 including a circularcross section. The second gear 132 may be formed on a portion of theinner peripheral surface of the housing 130 and may be formed on anentire inner peripheral surface of the housing 130. For example, asshown in FIG. 4A, the second gear 132 may be formed to be perpendicularon the inner peripheral surface of the housing 130 and along only ¼ ofthe length of the entire inner peripheral surface of the housing 130. Inaddition, as shown in FIG. 4B, the second gear 132 may be formed on theentire inner peripheral surface of the housing 130 (forming at 90degrees).

The second gear 132 is preferably an internal gear which is a gearformed inside a cylinder, but the second gear 132 is not limitedthereto. Various gears may be used as long as the gear being formedalong the inner peripheral surface of the housing 130.

In addition, the storage space 131 is not limited to a semisphericalshape and may include various shapes as long as a circular cross sectionin which a portion of the plurality of formulation structures having aspherical shape is inserted and the second gear 132 may be providedinside. For example, the storage space 131 may have a cylindrical shape.

A one side and another side of the central axis 111 are inserted intothe controller 140 and located on an upper portion of the housing 130 soas to be rotatable along the inner peripheral surface of the housing130.

Referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B, the controller 140 includes a firstcoupling unit 141 in which the one side of the central axis 111 may beinserted and a second coupling unit 142 in which the another side of thecentral axis 111 may be inserted. As the one side and the another sideof the central axis 111 are inserted in to the controller 140, thecentral axis 111 is also rotated together when the controller 140 isrotated along the inner peripheral surface of the housing 130.

At this time, the central axis 111 may be inserted into the controller140 to be rotatable with respect to the controller 140. To this end, thefirst coupling unit 141 and the second coupling unit 142 may be holeshaving a cross-sectional area greater than the cross-sectional area ofthe central axis 111. (As shown in FIG. 5A, the first coupling unit 141may be a hole communicating with the outside as long as the central axis111 may be inserted into the controller 140 without being separated.)

When the one side and the another side of the central axis 111 areinserted into the controller 140, the controller 140 may have a rotatingspace 143 through which the first gear 112 may be rotated. The centralaxis 111 is rotatable with respect to the controller 140 with thecentral axis 111 as an axis even when the sides of the central axis 111are inserted into the controller 140. The first gear 112 may be rotatedtogether with the central axis 111 and the first gear 112 should not bein contact with the controller 140 such that the central axis 111 andthe first gear 112 are rotatable with respective to the controller 140.

To this end, the rotating space 143 through which the first gear 112 maybe rotated may be formed in the controller 140 and the first gear 112may be rotated without being in contact with the controller 140 throughthe rotating space 143.

The controller 140 is located on an upper portion of the housing 130 tobe rotatable along the inner peripheral surface of the housing 130. Atthis time, the controller 140 is located on the upper portion of thehousing 130 such that the first gear 112 and the second gear 132 may beengaged with each other.

In the container including the spinning formulation structure accordingto an embodiment, as described above, when the controller 140 is locatedon the upper portion of the housing 130, a rotational movement of thecontroller 140 rotating along the inner peripheral surface of thehousing 130 may be converted into a rotational movement of the centralaxis 111 as the first gear 112 and the second gear 132 are engaged witheach other.

Hereinafter, a coupling relationship and an operation method of therotating unit 110, the formulation, the housing 130, and the controller140 according to an embodiment will now be described in detail. Thecoupling relationship and the operation method of the containerincluding the spinning formulation structure according to an embodimentto be described below will be mainly described based on the case wherethe formulation structure includes the first formulation structure 121and the second formulation structure 122.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, the first formulation structure 121 and thesecond formulation structure 122 are coupled to the fan unit 113 of thecentral axis 111. The first formulation structure 121 and the secondformulation structure 122 are coupled to the fan unit 113 so as not tocover the first gear 112 on one side of the central axis 111.

When the first formulation structure 121 and the second formulationstructure 122 are coupled to the fan unit 113, the central axis 111, thefirst gear 112, the first formulation structure 121, and the secondformulation structure 122 may be rotated together.

After coupling the first formulation structure 121 and the secondformulation structure 122 to the fan unit 113, the one side and theanother side of the central axis 111 are inserted into the firstcoupling unit 141 and the second coupling unit 142 of the controller 140and the first gear 112 is located in the rotating space 143 of thecontroller 140.

When the controller 140 is rotated along the inner peripheral surface ofthe housing 130 as the one side and the another side of the central axis111 are inserted into the controller 140, the rotating unit 110, thefirst formulation structure 121, and the second formulation structure122 may also be rotated together with the controller 140 along the innerperipheral surface of the housing 130.

However, since the one side and the another side of the central axis 111are inserted to the controller 140 such that the rotating unit 110 isrotatable with respect to the controller 140 based on the central axis111, the rotating unit 110 is rotatable with respect to the controller140 based on the central axis 111.

After inserting the one side and the another side of the central axis111 into the controller 140, the controller 140 is located on the upperportion of the housing 130 and the first gear 112 of the central axis111 is engaged with the second gear 132 formed in the inner peripheralsurface of the housing 130.

Referring to FIG. 6, the container including the spinning formulationstructure according to an embodiment may include a cover unit 150coupled to the housing 130 and capable of covering the first formulationstructure 121 or the second formulation structure 122 and the cover unit150 may include a transparent material. The cover unit 150 may bedetachably attached to the housing 130. When the first formulationstructure 121 and the second formulation structure 122 are used, thecover unit 150 may be detached. When the first formulation structure 121and the second formulation structure 122 are not in use, the firstformulation structure 121 and the second formulation structure 122 maybe covered by the cover unit 150.

The container including the spinning formulation structure according toan embodiment is coupled to the above-described components and anoperation method of the container including the spinning formulationstructure according to an embodiment will be described below.

The controller 140 is located on the upper portion of the housing 130 tobe rotatable along the inner peripheral surface of the housing 130. Whenthe controller 140 is rotated along the inner peripheral surface of thehousing 130, the rotating unit 110, the first formulation structure 121,and the second formulation structure 122 are also rotated together alongthe inner peripheral surface of the housing 130.

The first gear 112 of the rotating unit 110 is also rotated along theinner peripheral surface of the housing 130. Since the first gear 112and the second gear 132 are engaged with each other, the first gear 112rotates simultaneously with the second gear 132 with respect to thecentral axis 111.

When the first gear 112 is rotated based on the central axis 111, thecentral axis 111 and the fan unit 113 are also rotated together and thefirst formulation structure 121 and the second formulation structure 122coupled to the fan unit 113 are rotated together. That is, a rotationalmovement of the controller 140 rotating along the inner peripheralsurface of the housing 130 is converted into a rotational movement ofthe central axis 111 through the first gear 112 and the second gear 132and the first formulation structure 121 and the second formulationstructure 122 coupled to the fan unit 113 are rotated according to therotational movement of the central axis 111.

As described above, the controller 140 is rotated along the innerperipheral surface of the housing 130 and the first formulationstructure 121 and the second formulation structure 122 are rotated basedon the central axis 111. According to the above-described method, theuser may rotate the controller 140 along the inner peripheral surface ofthe housing 130 to rotate the first formulation structure 121 and thesecond formulation structure 122 to selectively use a desiredformulation structure.

When the controller 140 is rotated by 90 degrees along the innerperipheral surface of the housing 130, setting a pitch interval betweenthe first gear 112 and the second gear 132 is preferable such that thecentral axis 111 is rotated by 180 degrees. The controller 140 beingrotated by 90 degrees along the inner peripheral surface of the housing130 indicates that the controller 140 is moved by ¼ of the innerperipheral surface of the housing 130 including a 360-degree circularcross section. The central axis 111 being rotated by 180 degreesindicates that the central axis 111 is rotated by a half turn.

FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 7C are diagrams illustrating that the central axis 111is rotated by 180 degrees when the controller 140 is rotated by 90degrees along the inner peripheral surface of the housing 130. FIG. 7Ais a diagram illustrating a state before the controller 140 beingrotated along the inner peripheral surface of the housing 130. Beforethe controller 140 being rotated, the first formulation structure 121may be located on an upper portion of the controller 140 and the secondformulation structure 122 may be located in a lower portion (the storagespace 131 of the housing 130) of the controller 140.

FIG. 7C is a diagram illustrating a state in which the controller 140 isrotated by 90 degrees along the inner peripheral surface of the housing130. When the controller 140 is rotated by 90 degrees along the innerperipheral surface of the housing 130, the central axis is rotated by180 degrees. And thus, the first formulation structure 121 located onthe upper portion of the controller 140 is placed in the lower portion(the storage space 131 of the housing 130) of the controller 140 and thesecond formulation structure 122 is placed on the upper portion of thecontroller 140.

FIG. 7B is a diagram illustrating a state in which the controller 140 isrotated by 45 degrees along the inner peripheral surface of the housing130. When the controller 140 is rotated by 90 degrees along the innerperipheral surface of the housing 130, the central axis 111 is rotatedby 180 degrees. Therefore, when the controller 140 is rotated by 45degrees along the inner peripheral surface of the housing 130, thecentral axis 111 may only be rotated by 90 degrees.

As described above, when the central axis 111 is only rotated by 90degrees (¼ turn), the first formulation structure 121 and the secondformulation structure 122 may be simultaneously located on the upperportion of the controller 140, as shown in FIG. 7B. In detail, aninterface between the first formulation structure 121 and the secondformulation structure 122 is located on the upper portion of thecontroller 140, and thus, the user may mix the first formulationstructure 121 and the second formulation structure 122 through theinterface for use.

In the above description, the case where the formulation structureincludes the first formulation structure 121 and the second formulationstructure 122 is mainly described, but the same operation method may beapplied when the formulation structure includes more than twoformulation structures.

Since the plurality of formation structures may form a sphere both inthe case where the formulation structure includes the first formulationstructure 121 and the second formulation structure 122 and in the casewhere the formulation structures includes more than two formulations,the same operation method may be applied.

In detail, when the controller 140 is rotated along the inner peripheralsurface of the housing 130, the plurality of formulation structures arerotated based on the central axis 111. According to the above-describedmethod, the user may rotate the controller 140 along the innerperipheral surface of the housing 130 to rotate the plurality offormulation structures, thereby selectively using a desired formulationstructure.

The container including the spinning formulation structure according tothe embodiment has the following effects.

The container including the spinning formulation structure according toan embodiment may convert the rotational movement of the controller 140into the rotational movement of the central axis 111 of the rotatingunit 110 through the first gear 112 and the second gear 132 to rotatethe two formulation structures through the controller 140 for use.Therefore, the plurality of formulation structures may be rotated foruse according to the user's need and the formulation structures may bemixed for use through the interface between one formulation structureand another formulation structure.

In detail, when the formulation structure includes the first formulationstructure 121 and the second formulation structure 122, the firstformulation structure 121 may be used before rotating the controller 140as shown in FIG. 7A and the second formulation structure 122 may be usedwhen the controller 140 is rotated 90 degrees and the central axis 111is rotated 180 degrees, as shown in FIG. 7B. In addition, as shown inFIG. 7B, when the controller 140 is only rotated by 45 degrees, theinterface between the first formulation structure 121 and the secondformulation structure 122 are located on the upper portion of thecontroller 140, and thus, the first formulation structure 121 and thesecond formulation structure 122 may be mixed for use.

Herein, although FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 7V illustrates that the second gear132 is formed to be perpendicular on the inner peripheral surface of thehousing 130, the embodiment is not limited thereto. As shown in FIG. 4B,the second gear 132 may be formed on the entire inner peripheral surfaceof the housing 130 (forming at 360 degrees). When the second gear 132 isformed on the entire inner peripheral surface of the housing 130(forming at 360 degrees), the same operation method may be applied andthe same effect may be included. In addition, when the formulationstructure includes more than two formulation structures, although anangle of rotation may be changed, the operation method and effect arethe same.

Since the container including the spinning formulation structure of theone or more embodiments has a spherical shape, a formulation structuremay be directly applied to a desired surface without being necessary touse a separate applicator. Accordingly, the container of the one or moreembodiments has good usability and portability as two formulationstructures may be accommodated in one container.

In addition, in the container including the spinning formulationstructure according to the embodiment, an interaction motion of theplurality of formulation structures may be implemented according to themovement of the controller 140. When the controller 140 is rotated alongthe inner peripheral surface of the housing 130, the plurality offormulation structures may rotate together with the controller 140 alongthe inner peripheral surface of the housing 130, and at the same time,an interaction motion of rotation around the central axis 111 isobtained. According to the above-described movement, a design elementmay be added to the container, and fun and interest may be provided tothe user.

The container including the spinning formulation structure according tothe above-described embodiment may be modified and used as follows.Referring to FIGS. 8A and 8B, at least one of the plurality offormulation structures may be replaceable by an applicator andconfigured to be coupled to the rotating unit 110.

According to an embodiment, a portion of the formulation structure isreplaceable by an applicator, and thus, the formulation structure andthe applicator may be used at the same time. In detail, referring toFIGS. 8A and 8B, the second formulation structure 122 among the firstformulation structure 121 and the second formulation structure 122 maybe replaceable by an applicator.

The applicator may be a puff 123 or a brush 124, or the like. FIG. 8Aillustrates that the first formulation structure 121 and the puff 123are coupled to the rotating unit 110 and FIG. 8B illustrates that thefirst formulation structure 121 and the brush 124 are coupled to therotating unit 110.

FIGS. 8A and 8B illustrate that the formulation structure includes twoformulation structures, but when the formulation structure includes morethan two formulation structures, at least one of the plurality offormulation structures may be replaceable by an applicator andconfigured to be coupled to the rotating unit 110.

The disclosure relates to a container including a spinning formulationstructure, the container converting a rotational movement of acontroller into a rotational movement of a central axis of a rotatingunit through a first gear and a second gear to rotate a plurality offormulation structures for use through the controller. The disclosuremay rotate the plurality of formation structures for use according tothe user's need and the formulation structures may be mixed for usethrough an interface between one formulation structure and anotherformulation structure.

In addition, since the container of one or more embodiments has aspherical shape, the formulation structure may be directly applied to adesired surface without being necessary to use a separate applicator.Accordingly, the container has good usability and portability as twoformulation structures may be accommodated in one container.
